The unrecognized yet truly great individuals of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro Mountain Crew and Porters do all the difficult work so the main thing we need to worry about is eating enough food, drinking enough fluids and placing one foot before the other, yet they are frequently paid less, and depend on our tips and gifts to help themselves and their families. So Gifts For Porters Kilimanjaro is a good idea while you’re on the top of Kilimanjaro.
Unfortunately, many Kilimanjaro Porters climb the mountain with wavering shoes and not exactly satisfactory garments, so they genuinely welcome any extra ‘Gifts’ that we can give them, and in the event that you are Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at any point in the near future.
If you have purchased new hiking gear for your Kilimanjaro Adventure, take your old stuff with you, your porters will be more than happy with last season’s winter gear!
Gifts For Porters Kilimanjaro – For How Many Porters Will Share?
The Kilimanjaro Without Porters is not possible for most climbers to make it successfully to the summit, as they are the dedicated men whose job it is to help tourists carry their gear to the summit. Most of the porters are local men between the ages of 18 and 40. They are hired alongside a team of trained professionals. They make it possible for tourists to navigate their way up the mountain.
The number of Kilimanjaro Porters varies depending on the tour company you choose and the Kilimanjaro route you choose to trek. Your porter is responsible to carry your gears, all kitchen equipment, and private toilets if required. Each and every special requirement will need an extra porter for support.
The porters are allowed to carry only a limited number of weights and the best company will have high porters to client ratio. We have the Climb Kilimanjaro Guide from which you can know about the Kilimanjaro Porters requirements.
Here Are The Details Of Kilimanjaro Porters Requirements:
